Genetic diversity of noroviruses in Taiwan between November 2004 and March 2005
Noroviruses are a major health burden and are responsible for the majority of outbreaks of gastroenteritis in the world. Human noroviruses can be genetically divided into two main genogroups (GI and GII) and s...

Cleavage activity of the sapovirus 3C-like protease in Escherichia coli
We recently determined the ORF1 cleavage map of Mc10, a human sapovirus (SaV) strain, as follows: NH2–p11-p28-p35(NTPase)-p32-p14(VPg)-p70(Pro-Pol)-p60(VP1)–COOH. This cleavage was dependent on the viral encoded ...
